Fancy Fold Accordion Heart Doilies!

January 23, 2020

I dreamed of doing this fun accordion fold with the Heart Doilies in my sleep. I rarely do that! Do you?

I shared how in this week's Facebook Live yesterday. My FB Live's are usually on Tuesdays at 11 am but I was out of town so switched to Wednesday this week. It's so simple! And you could do this with many of our dies too! Click below to see it.

I also traced the flap of my envelope onto the From My Heart specialty designer paper to make this card extra, extra special!

Details:

The pretty soft scallops on the edge of the DSP are from the new Braided Border punch. I did one length of it and cut it in half for both cards.
The greeting is stamped on a Timeless Label punch and added to another Heart Doily. The stamps are from the Heart to Heart stamp set seen here.
I used the new sparkly Faceted Gems from the From My Heart Suite. See them here
You get 40 Heart doilies in one package for $5.50; a great deal at .14 cents each.

Cutting:

I cut a strip of the From My Heart designer paper at 3" X 12" and cut that into two pieces 3" X 5 1/2" long. The hearts are the reverse side of the pretty foil double sided designer paper on the envelope. When you use these measurements you can get 8 cards from one sheet! It's a great way to use up the designer paper you may be 'hoarding'.
The white layer inside is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"; my favorite size for inside cards as you can get 5 from one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11".

I folded each doily in half and glued each one to the next just on the outer curve. I adhered the folded doilies to the card with either Tombo liquid adhesive or Tear & Tape; it's super strong!

Striking cards with Pretty Perennials with True Love DSP

January 28, 2021

If the True Love designer paper hasn't caught your eye yet look at these cards:

Save

I paired it with the Pretty Perennials stamp and dies bundle for a recent FB Live. I used Bermuda Bay, Real Red and black. Simple Stamping at it's best! No die-cuts or punches either! Sometimes it's fun to just stamp and layer.

Save

You can see the measurements below. I try to share the printed list in my videos so they're easy to jot down.

Save

Lastly here's the stepped-up card I made using heat embossing and the Perennial Petal dies. See the Pretty Perennial bundle here.

I also used our new Blending Brushes to add color to the white flowers. Love these so much!

Save

Measurements are below and you can watch the FB Live replay video below:

I think cards featuring black and White with a pop of color are so striking and stand out. What do you think?

Easiest Shaker card you’ll ever make!

January 26, 2021
Giving an interactive card makes the card extra special like shakers, spinners or fun folds. But they can be time consuming or a lot of work.

Save

I used the free 'A Touch of Ink' stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. You can see it here. That background was made with our Blending Brushes and Bermuda Bay & Calypso Coral ink.

Save

This type of shaker card is truly easy; really! Besides the stamped element you need three basic things:
1. A clear envelope
2. Strong adhesive
3. Sequins, beads or tiny punched pieces
Insert your stamped card stock into the clear envelope, fold the excess envelope over to the back and seal with adhesive leaving one end open. Add your fun filler and seal closed.

Save

The pretty sequins in this card are the Woven Threads sequins in the annual catalog on page 157.

I made a video in December on making one of these shaker cards. Even though it's a Christmas card it's the same technique. Here it is:
